Weekend review: the good, bad and indifferent

Good: Spying the Emily McPherson Collection of antique cookbooks in the RMIT library, The Alderman, Rumi – pumpkin, rice and cauliflower dishes, the Significant Eaters Saturday night vegetarian bake, Beryl’s sparkles and wonderful smoked trout salad at Babka, I-can’t-fit-another-mouthful vego big breakfast at Black Ruby, great company, watching DVD's by candlight on the new laptop when we came home to a power outage, rain on Friday, a cool night for sleeping on Sunday.

Indifferent: Fish kebabs at Rumi – great tahini dressing but the fish could have been a lot better.

Bad: Wet jeans and feet dampening a great night out, the acoustics at Rumi, neighbours arguing in the dark til at least 3 am again (I always want to put my head out the window and scream “Just leave the arrogant bastard and then we can all get some sleep!”), the fridge door beeping at 5.30 am when the power came back on.
